why i am an idealist

"Be realistic, Phil"

The moment we are realistic is the moment that we announce God is nothing.

The moment we fail to admit we are called to the impossible is the moment we refuse to live for the Kingdom of God.

I am an idealist because I am unwilling to settle for less.

Because "on earth as it is in heaven" implies risk, suffering, and persecution for the Kingdom to come.

By not being idealist, we, in fact, renounce our faith entirely.

Do you believe?

Do you believe God can do great things (or small things with great love) through you? He did so with a poor refugee outcast who was trampled by the pious and seemingly good citizens of the world. Then he said we would do even greater things than Him.

The age of apathy. My generation is the most apathetic. Yet bright hope shines from the extremely small minority who actually believe. We are few. Most Christians do not qualify.
